Description

Bee monitoring project began in 2013 with bee bowls deployed throughout the Burlington Intervale, a large open space consisting of vegetable and flower farms, mature riparian buffers, and old fields.

Sampling Methods

One transect comprised of 15 pan traps was deployed at each sampling location for approximately 24 hours. Each transect included 5 white, 5 blue, and 5 yellow bowls placed 5m apart. Transects were established along hedgerows or forest edges bordering farm fields. Coordinates represent the approximate center point of the 75 meter trap line.

Study Extent	Sampling periods were defined as: early summer (early-mid June), mid-summer (mid-late July), and late summer (late Aug/early Sept.). We attempted to sample twice during each period for a possible total of 6 sampling events per field season at each location. Additional wildland sampling was conducted in 2020 and 2021 at 4 locations during early spring (Mid-late May).
